Opinions Divided Over County Limerick Waste Facility

摘要

Plans to develop a 4 000-tonne waste transfer facility on the site of the old Kantoher plant in Killeedy have split local politicians, with some firmly opposed to the project while others urge a "dialogue" with the local community.White's Skip Hire of Broadford [pictured] is currently exploring the possibility of renovating a disused section of the old Kantoher plant for its facility to separate recyclables from waste collected by its domestic bin service. The company has insisted that the facility will pose no risk to the environment and will create six to 10 new full-time jobs. However members of the Killeedy community have voiced strong opposition to the plans, fearing the facility will create vermin, noise and odour problems and may contaminate a local water supply.
